I used to work right around the corner from this place in El Cajon. It was truly very weird and gave off 'crazy vibes'. My friends and I only went inside one time, just to check it out. They greeted us and immediately asked if they could separate us and take each of us to a single room , alone to talk. We noped out of there and ran to a Winchells. It was fun to see the 'UFO cars' driving around East County San Diego, but that place always gave me the creeps.

I only realised it's 'Unarius' and not 'Uranius' after reading the full meaning. Lmao

I mean at the very least cults are harmful because they'll drain money out of their followers to go to the leader/highest ups in the church.

I would have to agree. Definitely WEIRD, but overall harmless. I loved walking past the mural on the building and the window displays were always trippy. It fit right in with the rest of the odd shops on Main St.

Also, bonus cool factor of getting referenced in one of the best X-Files of all time: Jose Chung's From Outer Space

Yeah, they’re pretty charming in their own way. Crazy, but apparently not harmful in the end.

They are spreading bullshit theories and calling it "science" without any evidence, which is harmful.

thx for the post! this cult was started by my great uncle, so I'm always fascinated. the doc may mention this, but Ernest norman came from a large, very eccentric mormon family, which is also intereating.

True, but they are small enough and inconsequential enough to pretty minimally harmful.

Yes, they mention him a few times, but they focus on and give more credit to his wife.

How do people on this site openly acknowledge how corrupt, and vile the police organizations are, and yet still ignorantly believe the ATF’s (another govt backed gang) propaganda when it comes to the atrocities at Waco and Ruby Ridge? In both of those scenarios federal government agencies mentally tortured, and ultimately murdered innocent US citizens, and then painted these victims as evil monsters to trick the public into believing these reprehensible agencies were the good guys.
A content creator on youtube named Wedigoon has an incredible and intricate documentary on what REALLY happened at Waco, and it’s a must see for those who still believe the victims at Waco were crazy pedo cultist’s.

No creepy, exploitative compound living? No rampant sexual abuse or taking of multiple wives by a charismatic leader? What kind of cult IS this anyway?
(It's definitely a cult though, and objectively weird. Just sounds relatively harmless)
